I think we should give teddy a go on Riewodlt and play Mcphee at CHF i think we should stick with Mcphee at CHF and when Lucas comes back throw him to CHB and put teddy in the forward pocket

 

[Darealrath]

A decent CHF could really expose their lack of defensive options. I'd go with Teddy up there. I think McPhee is better off with the freedom of playing on a flank where he can just run and present without having to occupy such a key spot.

With Teddy gone from the backline the logical thing would be to bring in Hunt, i bet Wellman gets in though. Perhaps both if McVeigh doesn't pull up.

I'd drop Dyson. I think Stanton and Bullen did more last week.

Your forgetting Mark Alvey who will be available for selection! I'd really doubt if Damian Cupido is in the physical and mental state to play AFL level at the moment - which is dissapointing.

The good news from Windy Hill today was that Hirdy, Lucas and Rioli all look set for selection against Port Adelaide next week - as just reported on FoxFooty.

IN- Wellman, Alvey

OUT- Dyson, Bullen

That's brilliant news. 3 of our best 5. We'll flipping need them.

In. Wellman
Out. Dyson

Just one change for the moment but i'd also think about bringing Alvey back in for another young player. We need a bit more experience in the team in my opinion.

Wellman shouldn't come straight back into the side.

We've got a few tall back options with Fletcher, Bolton, McPhee, Solomon. We should start Richards at CHF.

If we want another tall defender then Hunt should play ahead of Wellman. 27 touches, 11 marks, and 2 goals in his last game, on top of a consistent season. Not to mention, Wellman has missed 5 weeks and could use a run around in the VFL.

McVeigh might not come up because of his corked thigh, unfortunately. We'll miss him.

I'd make no change, assuming McVeigh is right. If he isn't... not sure. Alvey or Winderlich or Hunt for mine.

 

[nonchalance]

Teddy at CHF and Solomon on Hamill.

Bolton on Riewoldt.

Wellman to spend a week in the VFL with David Hille, who may in fact be better off trying to find the Wizard of Oz. Perhaps the Wiz will be able to supply him with a heart.

In with Cartledge or Laycock.

 

[go team]

The backline looks lost when either Wellman/Fletcher is missing.. even if he only plays a quarter or so, I'd play Wellman.

 

[nonchalance]

And who would you drop for him?

What would your backline look like?

Hunt is a good chance according to Sheeds:

Sheedy hinted that Sam Hunt, was in the selection mix for the St Kilda game after an impressive performance for Bendigo on Sunday. "He's one player we'd consider to be honest. We've nearly considered him in the last week or two. He did play very well (for the Bendigo Bombers last weekend), so he's a player who will come under pretty close scrutiny," Sheedy said.

pazza - NLM on a HBF?

Not criticising your thought, you are one of the smartest Bomber fans on VF, but I am curious as to why you would place him there when we desperately need a crumber?

Actually is a better option as a running mid-sized defender...McVeigh and Haynes can play as a roving forward and has the height and pace to suit. Putting Bradley in a pocket will also stretch the Saints lack of height in defence.
